I had somewhat heated discussions the last couple of days, and enjoyed all of them. If stuff gets to real for someone just don't jump into that discussion, no need to moderate two or more willing subjects of a discussion and no need to get offended on other peoples behalf.

I can't believe that a handful of people convinced the Devs that the Death Mark status effect needed a nerf, tho.

One thing that hasn't been said here is that the devs have said multiple times in the past that changes are always based on evidence of a problem demonstrated by at least 2 of player feedback, data and their judgment and experience. For them to change deathmark, it is not JUST a handful of people complaining here. It is a combination of people complaining here PLUS (probably) the devs seeing that deathmark was being exploited in an unhealthy way. If it is true that a ridiculous number of people were putting a fully traited Deathknight at the front of their GW defence teams, then they have the data to see that. Any individual player sees a maximum of 5 GW battles a day, but the devs have the eye in the sky and can see the larger trends.

Then they should had decided to nerf the Deathknights 3rd trait, not the DM itself. DM was totally fine before Deathknight class arrived.
